I really like this, I may have to give it a go...

This has been on the net for more than a couple of years now, but I do not believe that anybody has created a working version of it on the Play Store.

I just need to think of a nice way to implement it, maybe...

Start now!

 

[sorex]

how do you read the time on such thing?

 

[derez]

Put the full image of the clock on a canvas/imageview and move in a circle while the not masked area is the screen window.

 

[Peter Simpson]

With great difficulty @sorex
That's basically just the hour hand and nothing else, not easy at all but I still like it nevertheless.

@derez that's exactly what I was thinking of doing.

Moving around a circular path.
X = originX + cos(angle) * radius
Y = originY + sin(angle) * radius

Looks like a great idea, this would do well on the store I think. Maybe have different coloured backgrounds as IAPs?

You have got to be kidding me, I was trying to find a face like that, I've been coding it this morning too @corwin42, gutted

Okay I've just searched the Play Store via my browser again for 'Watch Face'. There are 14 rows (+2) of watch faces, each row has 7 faces so that exactly 100 watch faces in total. I have scrolled down and up and down and up and down again, and I can't see that watch face that you posted, it's just not in my Play Store search results through my Google Chrome browser, I'll try again but using my phone this time as I'm on my laptop at the moment.

I asked my partner to look for the icon below on the Play Store by searching for 'Watch faces'. She said that she saw it on her phone, I will check again via my phone shortly, but it's not appearing via my browser.

Thank you...

I can also see the watchface posted by @corwin42.
However, people are bitching about the fact that the promised customization option has not yet been released. The last update of the app dates back to June 2015. I am sure there's place for your app as well so finish it!

I saw it too. It says its compatible with my Nexus7 tablet - I wonder how that will look strapped to my wrist

Peter, Your TixyCLock would look great as a watch face

 

[Peter Simpson]

@corwin42, I can find that watch face on my phone but it does not appear in my browser. Anyway I'll continue developing mine this weekend, mine will be a lot better with lots more settings for fonts, font size, background colour the lot , thank you for pointing me to that watch face.

@MikeH I have actually already created a layout, but instead of 4 x 1 I had to make it 2 x 2. I just need to make one or two more changes then I'll see how things go

Can't wait to see your version. If you need a tester...

It's part of the Medusa clock library,

If you use b4j, maybe a wrapper of the whole library would be a good idea?
